First, we’re going to use this formula:
2nd number - 1st number
————————————— x 100%
1st number
If we plug in the numbers to this equation:
23-20
———- x 100%
20
And subtract 23 to 20, the answer to this equation is:
3
—- x 100% = 15%
20
In this case, the percent of increase is 15%.
You need to divide the 3 blocks of clay by the 4 friends. 3 goes in the dividend and the 4 is outside. 3 divided by 4 is equal to 0.75 or 3/4, so each friend gets 0.75 or 3/4 clay
The decimal equivalent of 1/4 is 0.25.
Given the equation A (x) = 30 x 8.3 ^x, we can get the
initial amount of A when x is equal to zero. Therefore:
A (0) = 30 * 8.3^0
A (0) = 30
In this case the equation grows by 8.3 times as x increases.
Therefore the growth factor is 8.3.
Answers:
initial amount = 30
growth factor = 8.3
The answers are not in the given choices. I believe you are
giving the wrong equation. If the correct equation here is:
A (x) = 680 x 4.3 ^x
Then the answers are:
initial amount = 680
growth factor = 4.3
The answers are now in the choices given.
Answer:
4 chocolates
Step-by-step explanation:
Before Luke started eating, there were 8. This is 2/3 of what Sara had to start with, so she started with 12. That is 3/4 of what Mike started with, so he started with 16.
Jill left 4/5 of what she started with, so she must have started with 20. Jake ate 1/6 and left 5/6, so 20 is 5 times the number Jake ate.
Jake ate 4 chocolates.
___
Jill ate 4; Mike ate 4; Sara ate 4; and Luke ate 4.
